Mantis

Found a praying mantis on the field on Tuesday. I'd never seen one so large in the GTA.

Thursday Farmer's Market @ Mel Lastman Sq

If you have time today, go check it out.

The magic school bus there is actually a fully functional kitchen where they make baked goods. Today, the Peach/Apricot dessert loaf is awesome. The peaches come from the stand next to the baked goods stand. Try the peaches there too. Fresh, in season, and almost-ripe. Probably the best peaches I have ever eaten.

Thornloe and Montforte also sell cheeses there. Some are award winning, and most of their selection is pretty damn good.

Also check out Mark Wilson's bee stand. He normally has a comb from his hives on display.

Avoid the north-east stand (closest to starbucks). They're not really farmers. They're just produce re-sellers.
